This contest looks like it will be quite the love letter for the Tafferverse. As great as the OMs are, I think the Fan Missions are what has really kept us playing for so long. It keeps the OMs feeling like a cozy home to return to rather than the same 44,444 walls over and over again.

Yes, I'm in and also I know of at least 12-15 others who are at least working on entries. Of course not all will finish on time more than likely, but this is still likely to be a bumper crop of T1 FMs!

Wow, looks like there's a lot happening for the contest! I've decided to try to join in, so I'm making my first ever FM. Still early days, though I have a couple of screenshots to share. But first, here's what caught my eye in all your shots:

Yandros: the fireplace grate is neat!

SilverJackal: I love those half-rectangle-half-arch doorways, and also your glass columns.

GORT: I absolutely adore the way you've used that theatre backdrop as a mural on the dome!

Terra: the gargoyles with lamps hanging from their mouths are very cute. Also glad to see some a Lost City styled area.

vegetables: flying buttresses are great. Nice to see your cathedral has them!

I'm a bit late to starting my mission but I've finally started yesterday and have come up with some of the plot, setting, and title. The story is gonna be somewhat based off of a demo I released a few years ago called "Secret of The Keepers". That's all the info I'll give though since I wouldn't want to spoil anything.

Here's a single screenie:

This is Garrett's living room. Garrett must've amassed enough wealth for him to be able to buy himself a nice house

@Yandros: Yeah, I've personally never looked back once I tried out the Enhancement Pack. Been trying to keep that in mind as I build, so hopefully, nothing will look wrong when people play it using the vanilla textures and models.

For a second there I thought that Enhancement/HD stuff wasn't allowed. Nope, just discouraged. You're going to have to keep the texture differences in mind for beta though, because HD textures might not translate well to their original counterparts.

He can't include the HD textures in his mission ZIP, he's just using it for screenshot purposes. It will be up to every player to decide whether to play the missions with enhancements or not. As it should be.

sorry to be an illiterate infant, but if anyone can spell it out for me anyway - what is the status of this thing? How many missions and stuff? I'm kinda nostalgic for when it was just the 10 year anniversary lol. And I haven't changed or improved one bit. Degraded more like.

I don't think there's a definitive count, but Yandros answered a similar question in the main thread the other day.
